Laparoscopic appendectomy: E.A.E.S. Consensus Development Conference (1997), with updating comments (2000)

  • Conference paper
Recommendations for evidence-based endoscopic surgery

  • 58 Accesses

Abstract

LA is presently at the efficacy stage of development, because most of the data on feasibility and safety originate from centers with a special interest in endoscopic surgery. More data on its use in general and district hospitals are needed to ascertain its effectiveness. Detailed analysis on its cost-effectiveness and cost benefits is also lacking. Although a very promising procedure, it is not yet the gold standard for acute appendicitis.

Held at the 2nd International Congress of the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EA.E.S.), Madrid, Spain, 15–17 September, 1994

The original conference is published in SurgEndosc (1995) 9:550–563.
